How does the New Hampshire ruling affect gun control 'lawfare' strategies?

This ruling is seen as a significant setback for gun control groups employing 'lawfare.' It reinforces the principle that legal gun sales, where all checks are cleared and no red flags are present, do not create liability for the seller, challenging the basis of many such lawsuits.

Can a gun shop be sued if a legally purchased firearm is used in a crime?
